My XBOX was freezing, LargePayload told me it was coming. The Red Rings of Death. I must say XBOX support has been really good so far.

Dun dun dun...... another one bites the dust..... dun dun dun..... another one bites the dustaaa.

The woman at UPS knew exactly what was in the box. She said she has shipped 4500 XBOXes out of that location alonesince December.

Without a doubt. I went through three X-Boxes in in less than two years before the fourth one finally proved to be stable. Had the first one for a week before the RROD, second one was 11 months and the third one was good for four months before it choked.

Got the XBOX back today 15 days turnaround with free shipping I cant bitch.

I am on my third myself. I actually bought a new one last time and kept the repaired one when it came back as a back-up.

You have a back up thanks for telling me now....dick

Hah it didn't even occur to me.


Sorry.

So it looks like it has been two years since I got the red rings of death. This time around I got 3 lights. Of course this time my XBOX is out of warranty. Support told me it was the power supply so I bought one from them for 40 bucks. Got the supply today and the same lights went on.

I called support and the told me that who ever I talked to should have had me send back the box for a $120 repair. Seeing I already paid $40 for the power supply they said there would be no further charges for the repair. So I am getting a new/refurbished XBOX for $40 bucks. I can't complain seeing how much we use that damn thing.

I tried their repair steps online but borrowed someones brick to try - I wasn't too optimistic and ya, that wasn't it. It was a first run 360 that had already been repaired once so I said frig it and bought a new one. Actually, my lady bought it. She couldn't stand to see me so depressed with my DVD player and Netflix Streamer dead in the water...
